CAP UCLA is proud to host the latest in The Industry's continuing series of Listening Parties, events that blend live and recorded music with conversations among composers, artists, scholars and audiences as they come together to survey and reimagine the landscape of contemporary music and art by listening to — and discussing — both live performances and recordings.

As a prelude for Jlin's evening concert at the UCLA Nimoy Theater, the artist joins The Industry's Artistic & Executive Director Tim Griffin as audiences listen to and talk about her inspirations from Igor Stravinsky to Luther Vandross and beyond — helping map the post-genre terrain navigated by so many artists today.

Past and future participants in The Industry's Listening Party series include artists and instrumentalists such as Moor Mother and SUMAC, Cedric Berry, Sharon Chohi Kim, Veronika Krausas, Christopher Cerrone, and others as part of this informal approach to the organization's mission of championing opera in the expanded field.

Please note, Jlin’s 8 pm performance is a separate, ticketed event. If you’d like to attend the show after the Listening Party, be sure to purchase a ticket.

Internationally-acclaimed organist Roger Sayer brings the unforgettable music of Interstellar home to Los Angeles for one night only on November 16, 2025. Sayer, one of the world’s most well-known organists, worked closely with renowned Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer on the Academy Award-nominated soundtrack for the film “Interstellar,” which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. Over the past decade, the music has developed a dedicated fandom.

The INTERSTELLAR 10 concert features Sayer’s original arrangements of the soundtrack’s highlights, for solo organ.

Sayer’s captivating solo program brings to life the drama and intense emotions of the “Interstellar” storyline, interweaving the main themes from the movie in one continuous performance. The concert also includes famous space-themed pieces: the opening theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey (Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss), and selections from The Planets by Gustav Holst. The concert includes a short documentary about the creation of the “Interstellar” soundtrack followed by an audience Q&A with Sayer.

HMC’s ensemble of metallophones and gongs ring out in performances of works by Lou Harrison and Bill Alves.
